[As Slade and Robin have the upper hand, one fire demon comes up to Robin, which he quickly fends off]
I thought we had a deal.
Old habits die hard.
[It's revealed to Robin that under Slade's mask, is a skull]
[after putting his mask back on] I'd rather you hadn't seen that. It's really only a temporary condition.
What are you?
Let's just say I'm currently incomplete. Time is running out. We must keep moving.
I don't think so. Unless I get some answers, you're on your own.
It seems my luck with apprentices is most unfortunate.
[The flashbacks show Slade's death and Trigon's half-resurrection]
Terra's betrayal should have been my demise. But I got lucky. Someone was looking out for me that day.
[in the flashback] Heed my command, and I will return what you have lost.
It was a simple arrangement, actually. Do a few chores, and I get back my flesh and blood. And I must admit, the fringe benefits were most enjoyable. [pause] A pity things didn't work out as planned.
[Flashbacks ends]
The moral of this story? Never make a deal with an inter-dimensional demon without a little protection.
You didn't bring me down here just to save Raven. I'm also here to help save you.
A deal's a deal.
You remind of our sister.
I will take that as a compliment. Realize, with you gone, Robin will be all mine.
HE WILL NOT!
What's the matter? Had enough? No wonder Terra dumped you.
You must be overjoyed to see me like this, Robin. Desperate, weak, vulnerable.
I'm here to save Raven, not pity you. Which way?
I'm afraid this where we part company. You'll find your friend along that path.
What about you?
What I seek is in a somewhat... hotter place.
That's it? No double-cross? No cryptic threat?
I kept my word. How about a little gratitude?
This doesn't change anything. If I ever see you again-
I wouldn't expect anything less.
I hate to say it, but Four-Eyes has a point. My butt can't take much more kicking.
It can, and it will. We must keep the Trigon occupied.
[Cyborg walks up to them]
As long as those all-seeing eyes are looking at us, he won't go looking for Robin.
Wanna bet?
No!
[Dark Starfire zips up to Trigon's ear]
[giggles and whispers] They are trying to distract you so Robin can-
I know.
He knows?
He knows. He's just been toying with us.
I was aware of this rescue mission before your small minds have even concealed it. And I have known from the beginning that your plan presents no threat. You fail to comprehend the depth of my power, and you fail to understand the departure of your friend. Some remnant of my daughter may yet exist, but the Raven you know is lost forever.
Who...who are you?
It's okay. I'm here to take you back.
[She begins to run from him]
Raven!
[He starts chasing after her until he manages to catch up to her]
Wait! I'm not going to hurt you!
[Young Raven cuts him off a different path. She stops when she hits a dead end]
Please, I just want- [Young Raven kicks him] Ow!
[She takes her cloak from him and continues to run until she reaches another dead end. Robin catches up to her]
Raven, it's me, Robin. Remember?
I'm lost.
I know. But I've found you. You don't need to be afraid anymore. I can help you. But you have to let me.
The hollow journey of your vacant vessel ends here. What you seek cannot be reclaimed.
Perhaps. But it's not like I have anything left to lose.
Dude, I have no idea I was so tough.
You're not. I can kick your butt any day of the...
If we cannot defeat ourselves, perhaps we can defeat each other.
[The dark clones appear. Cyborg and Beast Boy high five each other]
Switch!
[Robin is walking with Young Raven]
It's all right.
[Young Raven climbs onto to back]
How about a story to pass the time?
[He begins to climb the cavern]
This is the story of Raven. She was my very good friend. And she was very brave. Together, we fought evil. We beat monsters and villains, and we kept our city safe. But even though she was doing good, Raven was always afraid that deep down inside, she was bad. See, from the day she was born, people told her that someday, something terrible was going to-
[The lava suddenly splits apart to reveal fire demons]
You okay? You didn't get hurt?
Robin... why are you doing this?
You do remember, don't you?
[nods] The story you were telling. I can see it. Bits and pieces. You... our friends. My father. Like it was a dream. A nightmare. Whatever it was... it's over.
Raven... there may still be a way to-
Nobody can stop him. I remember that. You came down here for nothing.
I came down here for you.
Why? I can't help. My powers came from him. And now that he's done with me, I don't have them anymore. There was... a prophecy, Robin, and it came true. It's all over now.
Yeah... it's the end of the world. But so what? We're still here. Still fighting. Still friends.
Look at me, Robin! There is nothing I can do! There isn't any hope!
Then I guess... I just have to have enough hope for the both of us.
[He smiles, picks her up, giving her a piggyback, before continuing on his journey]
Your days have long since ended, mortal. Time to lie down with the rest of the mortals.
You first.
[The Soul Guards seems to have defeated Slade and about is to execute him]
You cannot hope to defeat pure evil.
Actually, I'm not such a nice guy myself.
[Using his S bomb, Slade blows him up, along with the gate. This causes all the souls, including his, to be released]
[as his soul has returned to him] Ahhh. My own flesh and blood. [looks at the guard] Don't get up. [picks up the guard's double-headed axe] I'll let myself out.
[Trigon creates a hole in the sky]
Go forth and conquer! One by one, worlds shall fall! [fire demons fly up and enter through the hole in the sky] Until every being in this entire dimension bows down to worship Trigon the Terrible! [closes the hole in the sky and thunder roars in the background]
This is your story, Raven. And I'm not sure what happens next. I know it seems hopeless, but I believe that when the time is right, you will know what to do.
For the record, I'm nobody's servant.
